To add to that, for home and community care and respite care during COVID, particularly for caregivers of people living with dementia, we have been receiving an increased number of extremely distressed caregivers because they no longer have a break. They no longer have respite care. They don't have access to adult day programming. During COVID they can't access personal support workers who could come into their home and support them either. A lot of this also has to do with the increased caseloads that the home and community care staff themselves are now trying to manage because resourcing has been shifted to acute care or to long-term care.
Thank you for raising the question because again, it goes back to the implementation of a strategy. In the national dementia strategy, we talk a lot about home and community care, about appropriately implementing and supporting home and community care so you have enough hours provided in terms of respite to a caregiver, providing enough staff support and education and training so they can provide support in homes where people living with dementia need that support. This is where we need to focus.
